As per usual we played faves old and new on this episode, incl. Modniy, Heavy Chest, Charlie Chimi, Persian and The Vision to name just a few. Some students are on holiday this week so we had Rukiya from Lynfield College as a studio guest and she selected some classics from Sonic Youth, Cibo Matto, Childish Gambino and Portishead. The force is strong in this one.
With another extended show (early start) Jack covers a large range of sonics as per. Over several moods (largely introspective), Jacky G provokes imagination & emotion ~l❀o❀c❀k❀i❀n~
We eased on in to the show today with tunes from El Remolón, Helviofox, Roger Rönning and Ana CMP before stepping up the beats per minute. After receiving some constructive criticism about "not playing enough Reggae and / or Dub" we corrected the ship and banged out some heavy speaker shatterers from Froid Dub, RSD, Calibre & DRS and O.B.F & Biga*Ranx & Sr Wilson. Heat to match the humidity!
In the midst of some scorcher days I thought I'd bring some laid back beach vibes to the studio, before we stepped it up as per. Mori Ra, Drifting Clouds, DJ Spinna and Roland Clark, NoTenshun feat. Sandy Mill and Alphabethead all featured, and we dipped into the bFM faves archive playing Fuemana (RIP), James Pants and Gang Starr to name just a few.
After the usual festive period akl ghost town we're back in full effect! It's always nice to have the office open and buzzing when I hit the studio. We started with some b2b David Holmes brilliance incl. what is now a bonafied bFM banger remix by Andrew Weatherall (RIP). As per we travelled the world touching down in
São Paulo with Ana CMP, Los Angeles via Jeffrey Paradise, London (?) via NoTenshun and of course plenty of aces from Aotearoa!
